Today Robots don’t only serve you in your daily life but they also have important job to do in the internet. However, many don’t have a clue what this is all about.
Robot.txt is text file and probably every website have this text file in their root of the domain which you can check by simply typing www.domain.com/robot.txt.

SEO success is not only about linking and writing, but robot.txt also plays a critical role in your online business. There are some pages that you don’t want search bots to find out, a sort of like dirty closet which you don’t want anybody to look over.

What is a Robots.txt File?
Robot.txt is simply a normal text file and is always located in the root directory of your website. Once you know about Robot Exclusion Standard, it will be so easy for you to create robot.txt

The most important thing before you start creating robot.txt is you should NOT create it in HTML editors like Dreamweaver or FrontPage. It is written only in basic text editor like Notepad or TextEdit. Robot.txt is not an html file. It uses its own language which is completely different than other web related languages. However, unlike other languages, robot.txt is extremely easy.

Two Main Section of Robot.txt

User Agent:
All of the items in the robot.txt file are declared by using ‘User-agent’ which specifies the command refers to:
Example 1:
User-agent: googlebot

Example 2:
User-agent: *

Here some major bots:
Googlebot
Yahoo! Slurp
MSNbot
Teoma
Mediapartners-Google (Google AdSense Robot)
Xenu Link Sleuth

Disallow.
This is second most important section of robot.txt which specifies bots not to crawl through the webpage and index it. One thing you should remember is adding ‘disallow’ doesn’t completely disallow the specified bots going through your website. You have to choose which page of riles should be disallowed for search bots.
Disallowing bots to crawl your private policy page

User-agent: *
Disallow: privacy.html

Specifying the entire directories
User-agent: *
Disallow: /cgi-bin/

The above command will disallow all bots to crawl the entire directory. If you want to be specific on bots, then you can put bot name instead of *

Robots.txt Trick
Security is a huge issue online. Naturally, some webmasters are nervous about listing the directories that they want to keep private thinking that they’ll be handing the hackers and black-hat-ness-doers a roadmap to their most secret stuff.

New webmasters tend to get nervous they want to keep some stuffs private in their website. Security is most crucial part of every online business. Hackers and guys with blackhats are always looking for some loopholes to get secret data.

Here is what you should do. If you want to block a private directory, then all you have to do is arbitrate it and add asterisk to the end.

For example
User-agent: *
Disallow: /sec*

Make sure that the abbreviation is unique. You do want to name your private directory that you want protected ‘/secrethotcakemystery/’ and then add above robot.txt

The above robot.txt will now disallow search engine spiders from indexing and crawling directories that has the name which begin with “sec”. However, you need to make sure you are not disallowing other directories which you want to get crawled but has the name such as “secondary” because the robot.txt has the command /sec* which will stop all directories start with ‘sec’ from being crawled by spiders.

Tips for Robot Domination

• Make sure put robot.txt ONLY in your root directory of your website like this www.mywebsite.com/robots.txt

• Although there are no such rules but if you want to practice safe and best SEO then use at least one disallow line for every user agent directive. If you put too many, it could become confusing for you as well as for search bots, and seriously you don’t want to confuse the search bots. If search bots find incorrect format of robot.txt, they simply ignores the page which is not good sign for healthy SEO practice.

Selecting targeted keywords for websites sound easy but the toughest part is ranking well for popular keywords or keyword phrases. Astonishingly, 10 millions times a day someone types the word wrong. People misspell the words when they are typing in hurry. On that ground, online companies have been taking advantage on such misspelled words.

Let’s take an example. Suppose your website sells medical equipments and your primary keyword is ‘Medical Equipments’. There are many searches which are done with misspell words, and in our case, people sometime use write ‘Equiptment’ instead of‘Equipment’. And more than 20K times this word is misspelled by users across the world in the internet. So if you are using the keyword ‘Medical Equipment’ is searched about 60K a month and the term ‘Medical Equiptments’ bring about 2300, then even though the misspelled keyword bring lesser volume of searches, it is still worth  to use those keywords because there may not be have much competition  and you can easily get top ranked without any major competitions.

So if you would like to know what could be the possible misspelled keywords for your website then you should first take a look at some of the major misspelled words on 100 misspelled words from yourdictionary and others online dictionaries.

The next step is to optimize your webpage by using misspelled keywords. Out of many ways, the one that should work writing an article or blog post with desired misspelled keywords. However, you should not base these misspelled keywords for your entire optimization plan because Google helps out the user when they type misspell words by suggestion ‘Did you mean’ option.

Now use the Google Keyword Tool and find targeted keywords, and think how you can generate more traffic by using misspelled keywords.

Back in 2005 when the spammers were on their prime, Google introduced the rel=”nofollow” link attribute to help stop comment spam attacks on blogs, guestbooks and forums. The meaning of no follow means Do Not Follow the link for search engine spiders. When you put such link attribute in webpage, the link on those pages won’t pass any vote to the linking page. It was not created to stop crawling of search engines but to stop spamming over the webpage with unrelated links.

For paid or advertising links, Google suggests to put nofollow attribute on the webpage. Some other people suggest that it should be used in internal pages to manage page rank. Other thinks that nofollow should be rooted out from the internet.

Still there has been some confusion over this topic for last couple of years. The question arises are what is nofollow link? , Is it safe to use in my webpage? What benefit it will do or does it have any cons?

Let’s clear out things when to use nofollow and when not to:-

• You should not use nofollow attribute when you are linking to a legitimate or useful websites. Consider the website your webpage is linking as a recommendation and you are suggesting your visitors that the following website links might be useful.

• Paid links should include in nofollow attribute. Google have stated clearly ““In order to prevent paid links from influencing search results and negatively impacting users, we urge webmasters to use nofollow on such links.”

• Use of nofollow on unreliable content is wise decision. The main use of nofollow attribute is in blogs and forums where thousands and thousands members post in with man website links. Some members may be good members but there are many spammers who come to your website and spam the whole place with nasty links and unrelated links. In such case you should use nofollow to discourage those spammers.

There could be some sections of your website which you don’t want to be crawled by search engines spiders. Under such circumstance, using nofollow is the best idea.Always follow search engines rules and regulation. They are our friends to help our business and make money.
